Paid market research focus groups

Rochelle

Hi all was just wondering if any of you go to market research focus groups, they are a fab way to earn some good money ranging from £40/80 depending on the group.
I only know of 3 firms was wondering which firms you use, but am lucking if i get one a year from them the 4 i use are:
Saros
Focus4people.com
Indiefield

Thanks and take care kluv Roch xxx

Just signed up to all the above over last few days after recently finding out about these opportunities. Remember doing a focus group about 3 years ago on smoking - guy came round to a friends house and we sat there drinking tea and talking about how to encourage people to quit smoking for an hour and got paid around £40 for it (result) Am hoping I am lucky and hear from some (or at least one) of these groups soon as am desperately trying to save for holiday to portugal next year:j. Would love to know if there are any more i can sign up to to increase my chances of something coming up! Also was wondering how often people manage to get invited to these things.

I'd really like to know how to get more of these too!
my friend's mum used to work for a market research company so I got a few opportunities to take part in focus groups.
the most enjoyable one was when a woman came around and talked to me about shoes and what my shoes meant to me! then we went shoe shopping and i got £40 for 2 hours work!
another brilliant one was when i went to a focus group on saving the environment - i was there about 4 hours and got paid £100 (in cash!!)
but apart from them groups, i've never been contacted!
